James Davies gave a talk on the coloring of the plane so that points odd distance apart get distinct colors at the Discrete Math Seminar
On October 31, 2023, James Davies from the University of Cambridge gave a talk at the Discrete Math Seminar on the coloring of the plane so that two points odd distance apart have distinct colors. The title of his talk was “Odd distances in colourings of the plane“.
Robert Hickingbotham gave a talk on a partition of a planar graph into connected induced subgraphs of bounded size so that all long paths intersect some part more than once at the Discrete Math Seminar
On October 24, 2023, Robert Hickingbotham from Monash University gave a talk at the Discrete Math Seminar on the existence of a partition of a planar graph into connected induced subgraphs of bounded size so that all long paths intersect some part more than once and its application to k-planar graphs and powers of planar graphs. The title of his talk was “Powers of planar graphs, product structure, and blocking partitions“.
Congratulations Dong Yeap Kang (강동엽) for receiving the Sangsan Prize for Young Mathematicians (상산젊은수학자상) from the Korean Mathematical Society
Our former member, Dr. Dong Yeap Kang (강동엽), has been selected as one of the three winners of this year receiving the Sangsan Prize for Young Mathematicians (상산젊은수학자상) from the Korean Mathematical Society. This prize is for those with outstanding academic achievements in mathematics who are within 5 years of receiving their Ph.D. degree. Dr. Kang was a research student of the IBS Discrete Mathematics Group and received his Ph.D. in 2020 from KAIST under the supervision of Sang-il Oum. He was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Birmingham for 3 years and currently, he is a Young Scientist Fellow at the IBS Extremal Combinatorics and Probability Group. The award ceremony will be held on October 27, 2023 at the Seoul National University during the 2023 KMS Annual Meeting. Congratulations!
The 2023 Vertex-Minor Workshop was held from October 15 to 20 at Jeju
The 2023 Vertex-Minor Workshop was held from October 15, 2023 to October 20, 2023 at SONO Belle Jeju in Korea. This workshop aimed to foster collaborative discussions and explore the various aspects of vertex-minors, including structural theory and their applications. There were 17 participants from Korea, Italy, UK, Australia, Japan, and China and participants had great time to discuss open problems related to the vertex-minors of graphs.
